SAN LEANDRO (KRON) — The man that was shot dead while trying to sell a used cellphone over the weekend at a San Leandro gas station has been identified as a 32-year-old Redwood City father.

Daniel Carlos was killed in a shooting at around 1:15 p.m. at the 76 gas station on East 14th Street, near the Bayfair BART Station, according to Sgt. Ray Kelly of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office.
